Muan-gun Resumes Village Communal Meal Support Project During Busy Farming Season

220 Million KRW Support for Each of the 63 Villages in the District... Totaling 138.6 Million KRW

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Muan County, Jeollanam-do, conducted training on the 27th and 30th of last month at the Agricultural Technology Center meeting room for 63 villages promoting communal meals during the busy farming season.

The communal meal support project during the busy farming season aims to reduce the household burden on female farmers and improve agricultural productivity by supporting communal meals at the village level.

In this training for the smooth implementation of the communal meal support project, village representatives and cooks were guided on project implementation guidelines, food poisoning prevention measures, and other hygiene-related matters to ensure clean and safe food through thorough hygiene management.

Through this project, each of the 63 villages with communal meal facilities and meal workers will receive 2.2 million KRW per village for meal expenses, which can be used for cooks' wages, food supplies, or side dish and lunchbox delivery costs.

County Governor Kim San said, "Last year, due to COVID-19, we only conducted side dish and lunchbox delivery projects, but since residents' satisfaction with the project was high, we plan to expand the target so that more rural villages can participate in the future."
